Pixologic founder Ofer ‘Pixolator’ Alon has released a new two-part series of video tutorials on using ZBrush 4’s hard-surface modelling features.

The screen-capture videos, which show the creation of a complex motorcycle assembly, cover the use of the new Mesh Extract and Shadowbox tools.

Both have been posted on the ZBrushCentral forum, the second part going up last week. The thread starts with a video showing an exploded view of a similar motorcycle, created during ZBrush 4’s development.

We’ve also put together a short list of links to other Shadowbox training available online, which you can find at the foot of the story.
